Additionally, from the ''Calendar of Patent Rolls'' (CPR) linked  [http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/patentrolls/ here], we now know that in 1437 Richard Curzon ("one of the esquires appointed to attend on the king’s person") was granted a pension of 50 marks a year, and that in 1441, he was granted the farm on all mines of gold, silver, and lead in Devon and Cornwall.  The CPR also indicates that in 1443 Richard and Isabel (for having "divers times attended the person of Queen Katharine in the parts of France at the command of Henry V at her own costs without any award…") were given a “grant in survivorship” of 50 marks a year out of the issues of the counties of Warwick and Leicester.

Additionally, we also know that upon their marriage, the Earl of Warwick provided lands worth £40 a year to Richard and Isabel Curzon.  In the VCH Warwick (1964), vol. 7, p. 70, it’s clear that at least one of the estates granted to the couple was a life-interest in the manor of Perry or Perry Barr.  Likewise, in the VCH Worcestershire (1971), vol. 3, p. 317, a second holding can be indentified as a quarter of the manor of Earl’s Croome.  Indeed, Isabel Curzon was found to hold a life-interest in this manor from 1431 to 1466.  Given that Richard Curzon’s pension from the Crown was stopped in 1450, and Isabel’s interest in Earl’s Croome ended in 1466 it seems safe to conclude that Richard died in 1450 and Isabel in 1466.
